In regard in a
straight line, hover at a standstill and then take ofr in a straight
line. As you can see in the attached photo, one of our Kirtland heli-
copters isat a standstill fighting a fire.
The search lights used on the night series of lights
rather than one single light of he World War II searchlight variety.
Thus, the lights would appear to be a glow rather than be a single beam.
Dust would also make it glow. Helicopters when a nearing the earth create
Thersday evenin compare what you
saw earlier.
We in the Air Foroe are doing our best to answer UFo queries in an open
and honest manner, We try to explain each sighting. Your sighting is an
caxple of our efforts to investigate and determine what was sighted.
iutance, please write.
Yours truly,
